Here, pretty much every possible question about C5 A6’s can be answered here.

Go with H-sport sway bars. Huge improvement.

ECS always had good suspension packages back in the day.

Big difference in spring rates. I have a 4.2 A6 and there is pretty much no proper performance spring/struts available for the car. I went with H&R coilovers. You have a bunch of options with a 2.8L. I hear good things from the A6 guys using Eibach.
